Smooth, straight and lovely views

A great 18 mile ride to Fort Erie with changing views ending with a beach stop looking at Lake Erie and Buffalo NY. Very pretty. A few too many road crossings interrupted the tempo and flow of the ride but the signage was great.

Trail well-maintained

Trail is well maintained but somewhat isolated. We rode to Fort Erie and back. We took a detour to Crystal Beach. Very crowded and only porta potties for all those people.

Great Trail

Very well maintained trail. Lots of friendly users. I was looking for a way to go from east to west towards Port Colborne and stay off of the busy roads and noticed this trail on the map. It was a welcome sight.

Great Cycling

This is the Port Colboren - Ridgway - Fort Erie section of Niagara's Great Circle Route. It's a paved off-road trail so it's a flat easy ride. For some reason they have barriers across a couple of roads but other than that . . ....More

Quiet Trail

A very quiet trail, lots of trees and some wildlife, we saw a fox !! well maintained trail as well. Every 10K there is a small town to stop and explore from Port Colbourne to Sherkston, to Ridgeway.

A Nice Ride In The Country

The Friendship Trail from Fort Erie to Ridgeway and Port Colborne is a great paved off-road rail trail. It is flat and easy for riders of all capability levels. The only downside is that there are lots of stops at road crossings and some overkill...More
